Here's the thing... hard as it is, try NOT yelling. I know it's hard to restrain yourself when you're being attacked verbally, but if you stay calm, use a quiet, calm voice, then he has no reason to yell. I used to get in yelling matches with my parents all the time, and I learned in time that if I was more quiet, they would actually listen to me, because they knew I was being rational.
Good luck!

hey, I've been through that stuff too. it's not fun, by any means. but honestly, just wait until he's calm and by himself and tell him that there's something really important that's been bothering you lately. tell him how you really feel and if he starts to get mad, don't yell, you could tell him that he's even doing it right now, but try not to get him mad. just give him examples of stuff and you also might want to add that it's not that you don't like his girlfriend; if anything, don't say that it has anything to do with his girlfriend at all and say that he's been treating you unfairly lately and talk to him about it. if he doesn't want to listen at first, that's fine, let him go. eventually, though, he will. if he keeps walking away, lock him in a room or something, but make him listen. sounds harsh, but whatever, though, that'll probably make him mad. understand that he's going to get at least a little mad no matter what. good luck.

just like you sweetie, i live with my dad and brother. My mom doesnt live with us and thier not divorced just they live really really far away from eachother. Maybe, when you and your dad are alone without his girlfriend in the way ask him calmly if you can talk to him about something very important. Go soft on him and don't let him get angry.
